First Impressions: ASUS ROG Strix G16 (2025) with RTX 5060
I’ve been eyeing the new ASUS ROG Strix G16 (2025) with the RTX 5060 for a while now, but I’m not entirely sure if it’s worth the upgrade. I recently ran into some issues with my current gaming laptop, and the specs on this new model seem promising. However, I haven’t seen many real-world reviews or user experiences yet. Has anyone here tested it out? Should I get this, or wait for more reviews?

I've been using a G15 with the RTX 4060, and it runs pretty hot under load. Hope they improved the cooling.

I heard the RTX 5060 is quite powerful, but how's the noise level? Is it loud during gaming?

Emily, from what I’ve seen, the fans can get loud, but it’s manageable if you use headphones.

Does anyone know if this model has any major software bugs yet? I'm cautious about new releases.

I’ve been waiting for reviews before making a decision. The specs are great, but stability is key.

For those who have it, how’s the build quality? Does it feel sturdy or cheap?
Laura, I think it feels pretty solid for a gaming laptop, but it’s a bit bulky.
Is the display good? I care about color accuracy for creative work too.

Rachel, I’ve seen some reviews mentioning decent color coverage, but it’s mainly geared towards gaming.

Would you recommend it for both gaming and occasional work? Or is it just a gaming machine?
Good question, James. I think it can do both, but the battery life might limit portability.
Megan, yeah, that’s my biggest concern too. Looks like a powerful machine, but might be heavy for travel.
I got the G16 last week. It’s fast, but the battery life isn’t great for portability.
John, thanks for the update! Do you think it handles modern games well? Any thermal issues?
